How do you feel about peer reviews? What have your experiences with them been like?

I actually like peer reviews. I was kind of nervous about giving and receiving feedback when the week first began, but I was happy with the feedback given by my classmates to me. I liked reading what other classmates thought of my paper and I felt better about my work after reading their comments. I was nervous about anyone other than my teacher reading my work because I am kind of rusty on my paper writing. I also read most of the other feedback that was given to other classmates, and even when there were some changes that were suggested, they were suggested positively. There was no judgement or criticism given and I just thought the whole experience was great. I also felt comfortable giving my opinion to my classmates, which I thought would be very difficult. Past experiences with peer reviews were not so positive. I received feedback from classmates that I was sure was not the best for me to follow. I ended up not making the changes that they suggested and ended up getting an excellent grade on all of my papers for that class. This experience has definitely changed my mind about peer reviews!
